LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl.

led by guitarist seiji hano, the jazz group om released only one album solar wind, a landmark work that stands as one of the greatest achievements in japanese ethnic jazz. now, this masterpiece is finally being reissued.

their sound, seemingly a response from japan to ecm artists such as oregon and codona active during the same period, is refined yet imbued with a distinctly japanese sense of wabi-sabi melancholic, nostalgic, and deeply resonant.

from windmill, featured on studio mules compilation midnight in tokyo vol.2, to every other track, solar wind is a flawless album with not a single weak moment a true masterpiece of japanese jazz.
